[He's picking at the tag, but it clearly says JUSTICE]

...Having some difficulties, Mr. Brooks?

[lunadickery]

That it is, although I can't say I was expecting to spend my Christmas here.

[verypointed]

Neither did I.

You have family back home to celebrate with?

[lunadickery]

...My mother.

[verypointed]

Ah.

If it's any consolation, at least the time isn't passing as quickly back home and this isn't truly... a Christmas, of sorts.

[lunadickery]

I am keeping that in mind. Still, it feels a bit unusual to spend it without her. [...throwing plates at my face]

[verypointed]

[I guess that's how you practised dodging those punches well, huh. Just nods in reply.]

Mm.

[lunadickery]

[Plates have shrapnel to dodge as well. Punches are nothing compared to that.]

I suppose we'll just have to make the best of things while we're here.

[verypointed]

[nods]

There will be a number of festivities, I am sure of it.

[lunadickery]

Hopefully they won't be festive in the same way the mistletoe here is festive.

[verypointed]

[long-suffering sigh]

[lunadickery]

If you attend any of those events, please be sure to be on the watch for such things.

...Although I suppose that advice would be better given to some of the other Heroes instead.

[verypointed]

I'm sure we're all doing our best to be careful.

[lunadickery]

Of course. I believe you all will be able to handle anything that may occur.

[verypointed]

You haven't had any encounters since... have you?

[lunadickery]

[ONLY WITH ORIGAMI, but you don't need to know that]

...Thankfully, no. After I started remaining mostly indoors, I've not been forced in an encounter by the mistletoe.
